    Rapid Moonlight Kit and make sure you have a multimeter that supports 10A. Rapid has one in their site for 10.00 or HomeDepot sells one for 19.99. Also maybe some Artic Silver paste.

    Moonlights are just for our viewing pleasure anyway, no benefit to the fish corals. I'd skip em anyway, I have my tank set up so lights come on at 2 and off just before bed, so no need for moonlights. I think You'll be very happy with your new lights, both those companies are great!

    Unless you're an insomniac who likes to stare into your tank at night, lunar lights serve no real purpose. Good luck with your new lights. :)

    Well nvm about the moonlights then, I only have mine on for a few hours at night. Honestly my corals look amazing under them and I enjoy my tank the most when they are on.

    Yeah, i'll add them soon i'm sure, but until I get my money back! This new 48 led light order plus my recent divers den purchase has me a little maxed out, not to mention the BRS order of years worth of filters/DI resin, new salifert test kits and dosing kit!lol! Then add that to XMAS with a 7 year old and my bank account has taken a beating!

    But I do love how the corals glow under them! Maybe i can pull them out of my T5 fixture???????????? That's an idea!
